Cut your line down to 5 feet. I carb mine @ 13 psi and use 5 ft of 3/16 hose.

24 hours at 30 is not enough to get you into the 2. range. I do 30 for 48 hours, 20 for 24 and then to serving pressure. Even following this technique, I find that the beer is not perfectly carbed until a week after sitting on serving pressure. To be ready for tomorrow's game, I would put it back to 30 until right before kickoff. Bleed and move back to serving pressure. Might not be perfect... But should be much closer and acceptable to your crowd of thirsty party goers. Good luck.

Running down to up the pressure now. Also going to work on balancing my lines a bit. My pour only takes 4-5 seconds at 12 psi with a 10 ft hose 3/16" ID. Let you know how it goes. Who you rooting for anyway? I'm going 49ers even though they've beaten my Bengals in previous SBs.

I made two batches one week apart as to harvest yeast from the first. I transferred the first one to a 5 gallon secondary when it was about 90% complete (don’t beat me up about using a secondary, it was the easiest way to get to the yeast in the primary) in the future I will make a larger starter and split it before pitching. I know that, with variables, they are not exactly identical. My intent is to have 10 gallons of the same beer so I split the beer from the secondary to 2 kegs, purged the head space and placed them in the fridge. The appearance of the first batch is almost mead like as that it is crystal clear. In the carboy I could clearly see the hauler straps and in the sample I know that I could read a news paper through it. The samples from both batches tasted fantastic although the second batch was slightly sweet and yeasty. I am now warming it up a bit to give it time to clean up.
When the second batch is done I was going to also split that one and top off both kegs then carbonate. Looking back I see most of the should have, could have and would have but what I am looking for is confirmation that this will work.

FWIW I brewed a split batch of this beer with half WLP001 and half Notty (like the original recipe calls for) and the 001 was MUCH better according to me and all others who tasted this brew.

Going on 6 days for me, and still bubbling away Also just broke my 3rd hydrometer yesterday, and get a new one in 2 days. So I'll let this go 8 days, and then test the gravity.

Brewed another 10 gallon batch this time using Great Western 2-row and wyeast 1728. Fermented cold at 60*. It's been 10 days since brewing and the terminal gravity was hit in 3 day. I'll try to keg it tomorrow and get it carbed for next weekend. I'll report the results and contrast it to my previous batch using Marris Otter which netted a score of 40.

So when I bought my sack of grain I asked for 2-row. they got me the Briess 2-row. Now I am confused since I thought all 2-row was a pale malt but the Briess does not say it is pale. So what is the difference

all 2-rows are pale malts including Briess'.
